In France I was given 2 weeks notice, immediately before Christmas.
The landlord sold the property I was in without telling me, then gave me 2 weeks.
That was difficult as I was booked to fly to the UK in 1 week.
Finding another place to live at Christmas is difficult. Doing everything to process it including moving within 1 week is difficult. Luckily for me, some Mormon friends came to visit, and when I told them my predicament, they did everything to help me move my stuff quickly to my new temporary place. Good people - thanks guys!
In January I had to find somewhere again, because I hadn't been find a suitable long term rental before Christmas.
